“What we are doing in the universities is a mockery of university education. Government should pump in money so that we can solve Nigeria’s problems here in Nigeria… If our universities are properly funded, we can conduct cutting edge researches that can take us out of the recession. What we are simply saying is the federal government should use public funds to fund public education…University lecturers and students are not the ones who created recession…The ruling class through their activities plunged Nigeria into recession. Government should stop establishing new universities if they cannot fund existing ones. Universities are not constituency projects”
Dr Deji Omole, Chairman of the University of Ibadan branch of Nigeria’s Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU) sending verbal scuds in the direction of the Nigerian State while speaking on a Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State, (BCOS) radio programme
